So, a few quotations that I've extracted from a discussion that attracted my attention some time ago. I think that it represents quite accurately what NTs really think of us.
The article was named: "UK Sperm Bank Doesn't Accept Donors with Dyslexia and Asperger's"
Quote:
That makes sense, these aren't desirable or beneficial traits to have

> "Who do you think invented the first stone spear?" she asked during an interview with the Cornell Chronicle on March 12. "It wasn't the people chit-chatting around the fire. It was the Asperger's."
Thats a ridiculous claim. The vast majority of inventors are not autistic. The average person with Aspergers is a less creative, less capable, and less happy person.
